New Delhi, Aug. 18: Indian coffee was exported to over 140 countries in the financial year 2025-26, the government said.

There was a significant increase in coffee exports to emerging and expanding markets like United Arab Emirates, Libya, Australia, South Korea, Egypt, Kuwait and the United Kingdom and new markets like Djibouti, Micronesia and Timor-Leste. Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasad said that the Coffee Board has taken several initiatives to promote GI-tagged coffee and support coffee growers to grow GI-registered coffee, including in the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency. ‘Wayanad Robusta Coffee’ has been registered as a Geographical Indication (GI). The Minister said that the Coffee Board is the authorized user registrar for GI-tagged coffee and conducts regular awareness programmes on GI user registration to all stakeholders across the coffee value chain.

The Coffee Board organizes GI coffee tasting sessions, buyer-seller meetings and participates in coffee-focused trade fairs and food and beverage events to promote GI-tagged coffee. “These initiatives also include development support to growers, including small and tribal coffee farmers, under the Coffee Board’s (‘Integrated Coffee Development Project’) ICDP scheme.”

In the financial year 2025-26, the average export unit values ​​of GI-registered Arabica and Robusta coffees increased by 34.36 per cent and 29.73 per cent respectively as compared to the financial year 2024-25. The government has taken several initiatives to increase the visibility and marketability of GI products. This includes organizing India GI Fair, GI Mahotsav and GI Conference at national and international exhibitions.

Further, under the ICDP scheme, the Coffee Board of India undertakes various activities for the promotion of coffee including participation in international trade fairs/events; capacity building programmes; entrepreneurship development programmes; organisation of coffee tasting sessions and training programmes on barista skills, premiumisation and general branding of Indian coffee for promotion of value added coffees sold in retail packs, which carry the ‘Coffee of India’ logo and the words ‘Made in India’ are also depicted on the retail packs. In addition, the Coffee Board promotes GI coffee and has developed gourmet GI coffee gift boxes in collaboration with Indian missions abroad to enhance the domestic and international visibility of Indian GI coffee.
